My gift details
Ohio State is in the process of revising gift fund terms, including scholarship criteria, to ensure compliance with the law. As this work occurs, language referencing protected class status may still appear in some gift fund descriptions, however, the university is not applying protected class criteria in awarding scholarships or in spending program funds, in compliance with federal and state anti-discrimination law. As gift funds are updated using the statutory methods set forth in Ohio law, the gift fund language visible here will reflect these changes.
